The much-awaited announcement of Tesla's India entry will likely happen on April 22, after a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and billionaire Elon Musk, said a senior government official.
Vivek Chaand Sehgal, Chairman of Motherson Sumi Systems, said that there‘s no slowdown as far as SMR is concerned. The changes adopted for accounting standards make SMR‘s margins look optically weak on quarterly basis, but they‘re still healthy margins, he said.
Motherson Sumi said net debt increased by 7.7 percent to Rs 4,632 crore at the end of June 2016 from Rs 4,301 crore in March quarter as SMRP BV raised 5.5 years bonds of USD 300 million at 4.875% per annum in June.
The 5.5-year US dollar bond issue by Samvardhana Motherson Group has received an order book of USD 400 million against the USD 100 million on offer, helping the Noida-based company price the issue at lower 4.44 percent coupon, against the initial guidance of 4.5 percent, a merchant banking source told PTI.
Consolidated net profit jumped 2.4 times to Rs 249.6 crore, aided by forex gain and strong operational performance. Total income from operations grew 20 percent to Rs 7,988.7 crore compared to a year ago period.
